Oscars 2025: Two Comedians Turn Down Host Gig, Another Star Deemed Unlikely to Accept It

We’re still seven months away from the 2025 Oscars, but there are already conversations surrounding the host of the next event.

Jimmy Kimmel has hosted the show for the last two years and he also has hosted it two other times in the past. While the Oscars did go hostless for three years between 2019 and 2021, it appears the Academy is actively looking for a host this year.

A new report has revealed that two comedians have already turned down the opportunity to host the show and another star is not expected to say yes if asked.
